Worst OSR we've grown in a long time. Flea Beetles were very easy to find grazing until mid-November. Lost 15 - 20% at establishment and they kept nibbling from thereon. If it did get established the incessant wet has hammered it on any heavy ground - where it looked like it might kick on in Jan...
Just goes to show this farming is an art and not a science. I was at 290kg/ha (Lynx also) finishing off yesterday.
Father and I have had a disagreement on spring barley seed rates. As he drives the combine I have pulled them back….
Again wrong. A notice to quit can be served at any time under and AHA it is just that they can be contested unlike the examples you give , which are incontestable.
In a previous life I did a lot of AHA work.
Started this evening after a quick pit stop to put the combi on having just finished beans. Still got to work a lot of ground ahead of the drill.
should be finished by the time the weather breaks on Thursday. Oh and get the pre-em on the beans and get some nitrogen on top of the drilling…

You are the tenants, not the partnership. The partnership can pay the rent absolutely. If a new tenancy was granted to a partnership it would not be to 'Joe Bloggs & Co' it would be to 'Joe Bloggs, Jill Bloggs and Jack Bloggs t/a Joe Bloggs & Co.
Yes still got another 30ha to do. Drilled some 17th April last year and were fine. Didn’t combine them until October but that was more down to the crap weather in September than them only just being ripe.
There are ways around it being taxed. Takes some trust with your landlord but effectively you have to allow them to serve you a notice to quit and for you not to serve a counter notice. Payment becomes compensation rather than consideration.
Get some good advice.
50% spring beans in, 100% spring wheat, 0% spring barley. We are pushing as hard we can but the whole less is more thing in respect to cultivation is out of the window. Horse power and diesel is order of the day as we don’t have the time for anything else. Some good seed beds being created...
I was led to believe a lot were laid by Napoleonic prisoners of war. We have plenty which are the old horseshoes laid on oak, which is still there. Plenty of stone drain running too, which often need piping into a more more modern pipe or ditch as they have no outfalls- probably wasn’t an issue...
I would not imagine many. Grade 1 land is actually quite well defended by the planning system. Plenty of opponents to development cite the loss of 'prime land' to development but more often than not, it is bog standard grade 3.
